    Saw this movie on its opening night in Los Angeles in West LA. I will never forget that night. To me....possibly one of the greatest movies ever made.

    The Celebration is a beyond-remarkable quintessential Dogma masterpiece, nothing but nothing compares to its unapologetic, thrusting impact.

    I somehow think you need to be Scandinavian to understand this film truly. The way we can be so eerily good at ignoring horrible things right in front of us, just keeping up the appearences at all costs. The countless fests (dinner parties) like this I've been to, where this exact situation could happen, but without any of the self-awareness.

      I grew up with a brutal monster (not sexual) and the entire fucking family has successfully avoided the topic to the point where I became so disgusted I no longer wish to see any of them again. (American)

    Interesting that he thought he'd failed. I think every filmmaker/author goes through that. You live with this thing in your head so long and have such high goals for it that once it's a tangible, finished thing you feel it's fallen short of this epic image you had in your head.

      The screenplay is so solid it would have been good without the arbitrary rules he imposed on it. However, the experiment was worth whatever was lost by that. And that's why Dogma 95 is basically dead but informed a new generation of filmmakers that learned what worked and what did not.

      @@fabbblas oh so I'm not allowed to like other movies? But I'll give you my reasons (even though I already did that). The story is not bad, it's actually interesting but the way it's delivered is something I cannot accept and understand. I got tired watching it, it was annoying watching a movie shot like it was recorded by an amateur to upload on youtube. I'm sorry but I just don't buy it and, like I said, it's extremely pretentious to me. Like I also said, I didn't enjoy it at all, and "A truly good movie is enjoyable too".
